Touchback

Touchback
Spielfeld im American Football

Der Touchback ist ein Begriff aus dem American Football und aus dem Canadian Football. Als Touchback wird bezeichnet, wenn bei einem Kickoff oder einem Punt durch die Angriffsmannschaft der Ball in die Endzone fliegt oder rollt, bzw. über die Endzone fliegt und nicht durch die Abwehrmannschaft aus der Endzone herausgetragen wird.

Nach dem Kickoff, bzw. Punt wechselt dann der Ballbesitz und der nächste Spielzug beginnt an der 20-Yard-Linie der Angriffsmannschaft.
